The weekend just got slightly less painful 😂

Liverpool doing a Southampton

Source?

Yeah. Fair point. Probably best if I stick to congratulating you on pointing out how rubbish Armstrong is on a regular basis...

Bugger, was trying to keep that under wraps

Put a sock in it will you?

Fair points 👍

I suspect the waterlogged conditions may have played a part in Ralph's thinking.... whilst taking into account how seemingly prone Djenepo is to picking up injuries. Can you imagine the hoo-haa from the hindsight brigade on here had he got injured after coming on, and the conditions had played a part in it?

Despite being in the 'clamouring to see Salisu play' club, I'm in two minds as to whether we should blood him in this game... Now that we've slipped back into our more 'natural' mid-table position in the league, arguably FA Cup games become more important than PL games and, as such, we should play our strongest possible line-up in this game. On that basis, and making a few assumptions on who'll be fit, I reckon we should go with: Forster KWP - Bednarek - Vestergaard - Bertrand JWP - Romeu Armstrong - Djenepo Ings - Adams Bench: McCarthy, Stephens, Salisu, Jankewitz, Redmond, Tella, Chauke, Watts, N'Lundulu

Kindly take your pragmatism elsewhere sir!

We were playing the same fundamental tactics then as we are now, we've simply lost the best combination of players to execute it during this injury 'crisis', coupled with the likes of Ings having a significant dip in form

The critics of the way we play were incredibly quiet during 2020. Can't for the life of me work out why.... Probably nothing to do with football fans being the most fickle creatures on planet Earth....

This is what happened in the aftermath of our previous 9-0. Perhaps something similar will happen this time? Perhaps it won't? Who knows?

The best thing about going through a bad patch is the excellent comedy value one gets from the Saintsweb Forum. It's a sure fire way of enticing the comedians out from under their rock.

That's pretty much how the script typically goes 👍🙂

Sometime between now and the end of the season. Just like we do after every dip in form we have. Anyway, enjoy the more frequent posting rate now that we're in a dip.

Same as last time? Don't panic / overreact and start playing better with the same players and manager again?

Bon nuit, pal

Soucek was clearly just lifting his arm up and made accidental contact. Surely Dean has to be suspended? As the song goes, he's not fit to referee. (Same goes for Mason given he thought it was worthy of further review). Something defo not right about those two

Yes, pal

Yes, we were

Something familiar about the post-match thread for the Everton game last season, (another loss in the aftermath of another 9-0 defeat )... Can't quite put my finger on why it's so familiar though.... #kneejerkreactions #dejavu I wonder if people's ability to predict the future has improved since then...? 😂

Yes. Only 4 or 5 teams scored more points than us in the whole of 2020 ergo we were the best 5th or 6th team in the calendar year that ended just over a month ago.

Because we were the 5th or 6th best premier League side in 2020?

Anyone want to place a bet that your post rate will go right back down again when we rediscover our form...?
